Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859) introduced the theory of evolution by natural selection, providing for the first time a coherent, evidence-based account of the diversity of life without reference to divine creation. It transformed biology, influenced psychology, anthropology, economics, and philosophy, and remains one of the most consequential intellectual contributions in the history of science.
